Princeton, In | IIRC, mid June of 1991 Mt Pinatubo on the island of Luzon in the Philippines erupted and ejected a cubic mile of material. The ash column reached somewhere shy of 120,000 feet (SR-71 Blackbird's flight ceiling is 85,000 feet) and it affected weather worldwide for a few years afterward. That is a lot of ash and gases pumped into the stratosphere and it would have contributed to the cool weather in both '92 and '93.
'92 was one of our best crops, we had the temperatures of northern Indiana. '93 was a late wet spring and an okay crop. I remember the summer of '94 being hot here with a short crop even though nationally it was a recotd crop, so the volcano's effect must have ended by then. | |
